Krish : oh ya.. solla marandhutten... he went out for lunch with his team... Simi : enna dhideernu... ?
Krish : he is leaving la... adhukku dhaan... his treat... Simi : ennamo foreign trip pora maadhiri feel kudukkuraanga... Krish : yes... maybe ippadi yosichu paaru... everyone thought of having farewell for him who worked with them for few months...

Simi still at her workarea, as she has to attend a client call scheduled late at the evening... Almost everyone had left in her team..
While she was ready to leave, she sees Hari coming out of a conference room with her Manager Raj..
He shook hands with Hari and he thanks him..
Raj : If you want to thank, you should thank Simi only.. (points to her who was nearing them)Hari : (puzzled)
Raj : enna appadi paakkura ? actually, we didn't have any requirement at this point... But suddenly one of the core member has put on the papers...
We were supposed to include additional members for the project only after 2 months... But since he is moving, also Sivi will join sometime later, we have to take 1 person immediately..
Already your brother Krish also told about you... And now Simi told me at the right time when I was about to look for someone...
But actually speaking, we give preference to those who are in Bench in this location... But as both of them recommended, I believe that you will also perform well and committed to work.. Thats the reason, we took this decision...
One more thing we discussed was having both you and Krish in same team will work out or not... Though you are into this account, you both will work in separate teams..All the while Simi and Hari were listening to him..
Hari : That doesn't matter.. inga project kedachadhe periya vishayam... more than me, my family members will be happy on hearing this... Raj : you were about to leave this week end to another city... right ?Hari : yes Raj... to Jaipur...Raj : I have spoke to the person whom you were supposed to report to... you can cancel the tickets tomorrow... Hari : sure Sir..Raj : Welcome to our team... tomorrow you are free... from monday onwards, you will have background checkup and training sessions...
Ok then.. Its getting late... I take leave..Once he moves from there, Hari thanks Simi...
Hari : thanks a lot... but can I know why ?Simi : means ?
Hari : you took effort for it to happen la.. Simi : pinna...? appadi yellaam easy ah enna vittu poga vittiruvenaa ?
Saying so, she start to move... It took few seconds for him to realize the meaning in her sentence... He catch hold of her hand immediately...
Hari : what did you say ?Simi : adhu vandhu... enga ellaarayum vittu poga vittiduvomaa nu sonnen...Hari : no no... exact ah enna sonna ?Simi : modhal la kaiyya vidu Hari... idhu office... Hari : (leaves her hand) appo vera yengayaavadhu nu naa ok vaa ? (winks)Simi : unakku romba dhaan... Hari : enna romba... ?Hari shouts as she pinches him... He again stops her...
Hari : are you done for the day ? Simi : ya... mudinjadhu... call ku dhaan ivlo neram irundhen...
Hari : ok... appo kelambu polaam...
Simi : enga ?
Hari : sonnaadhaan varuviyaa ?Simi : appadi illa...

I'll take my bag and come... They both goes to a temple and after praying, they both finds a place to sit on the stairs of the pond (theppakulam)

Hari : I didn't mean that... Simi : then...
Hari : unkooda ippadi.. pakkathula utkaarndhukittu.. (tries to hold her hand)
